Users / Media Directors for $200 or LESS! Please post
« on: December 01, 2008, 09:24:07 pm »
It has been just about a year since I first looked at this project but still have not
seen as much progress as I have hoped for. I am still running my MEDIA CENTER back
and forth between linuxmce and MCE 2005 (swap drive out and put another drive in) as Vista Ultimate was joke. I like MCE 2005
because the extenders can be bought cheap (DMA 2200 around $130 or 2100 for about $100) or
you can go really cheap like I did for the kid's rooms and use an old KLEGG box to just pick the
.vob files off a share (have gotten these for as a little as $60). I don't have any clients (Media Director)
that I can use with linuxmce at this time as I still haven't seen anything that this small and works well for under $200.00. Because
of this I am asking people to post three things about their Media Director(s) if they have one:
By the way for those who care I am in the U.S.
1. How much you got in the rig?
2. What does it consist of (specs including models if possible)
3. On a scale from 1 to 10 1 being easiest 10 being hardest how hard was it to set up.
Thanks!
